General:

This is a photo of the Third Georgia Volunteer Infantry's regimental
band. One of its members was A. B. "Alfred Burres" Hall, to whom
the photo belonged.

The 3rd Georgia Volunteer Infantry Regimental Band included A. B.
Hall, Frank P. Allen, Charles Pollard, Hubert Beckham, Charles Grigg, among
others. Of these men, we know the most about Mr. Hall. Hall was born on
February 10, 1877 in Dade County, Georgia. Hall grew up in Rising Fawn,
Georgia, where, in about 1893 a music teacher came to town. He worked out
a deal with the Hall family to exchange room and board in exchange for
giving music lessons. "Burres", as A. B. Hall preferred to be called, was
soon playing the cornet. When the Spanish American War broke out, Hall
joined the 3rd Georgia Volunteer Regiment, Company D, and the regimental
band.

After regiment returned from Cuba, Hall was discharged. He found
his way to Oklahoma, where, in 1909 he married Carrie Counts. The couple
raised four children. Hall died in 1952 at the age of 75.
